What's Your blood type?

[Churchill]

That's bad isn't it - Don't they end up stuck to the lining of your arteries?

I think there's a difference between "lots of platelets" and "You've got Polycythemia Rubra Vera".

I dunno.

When I last gave blood, I got a letter asking me if I would be happy to donate platelets as well - apparently they take blood, nick the platelets, then stick the plasma back in you.

I assume I am not ill, although I might have Haemochromatosis as my mum has it. In true manly style, I haven't been to the docs to get tested as "I don't feel ill"

I've always carried my blood donor card in my wallet... "just in case".

Shudder to think what the street value of a pint of Zippy would be

You really want to be O- universal donor.

Not much value, but on the plus side you'd get pissed for nowt.
